Given the lack of other word about interest in Bryant’s services, some might wonder if the wide receiver has had second thoughts about passing on a contract offer from the Ravens that came not long after he was released by the Cowboys. One person who did wonder about regrets posed the question to Bryant on Twitter on Tuesday night.

Bryant responded by saying “not one bit” and said he was “very appreciative” for the offer. He wrote in another tweet that he isn’t thinking about retiring and that “not being signed to a team yet has a lot to do with my personal decisions.” Both tweets were punctuated by shots at the media for the way they’ve portrayed him during his search for a new job.

He probably doesn’t have the same issue with former teammate Ezekiel Elliott telling people not to doubt Bryant in a supportive social media post of his own on Tuesday, but doubts about the brightness of Bryant’s football future are likely to persist as long as he remains without a job for the coming season.

Honest answer I am not sure he is self-aware enough to regret it. He still thinks he is a top 5 WR. He might get signed later in the season when injuries force questionable decisions, but I doubt he gets a legit offer that satisfies his ego.

Must be collusion, that’s the only reasonable explaination for a talented player to be out of work…..

Oh wait, he didn’t protest.(?)

That scrambles my brain – can’t wrap my head around it – can’t understand how a talented player can’t get a job. Is it possible that if you cause distractions to your Team, make things about yourself- not the Team, and/or you’re asking too much money for your level of production, teams might not give you a job? Everyone on this site always says it’s collussion, but I guess that’s not the case…..

he’s right in saying that the reason he is not signed has a lot to do with his personal decisions… but i’m doubtful he regards those decisions as the ones where he walked off the field before the game was over, went crazy on the sidelines, got into it with the coaches, and on and on….

What was the Ravens’ offer? I haven’t seen the numbers anywhere. If it was a really low offer then of course he wouldn’t take it. He has no leverage right now. Once a team actually needs him then he’ll be in a position to negotiate.

Of course the question of what he’s actually worth is a different thing entirely. Obviously the Cowboys releasing him was a pretty big deal, but someone will sign him at some point.

As a life-long Cowboy fan since 1960, I wish Dez well but don’t let the turnstile hit you in the ass on the way out. The last few years of him underperforming his mouth have taken a toll on the fan base. I honestly feel he couldn’t handle the adulation Dak and Zeke were getting, making him “3rd or 4th on the mic” when it came to interview time. His ego couldn’t handle the truth.

Get over it…let it go. He was already offered a contract. The other people you seem to be referring to were not. They should have at least been made an offer but were not. So please stop. ..you clearly have an agenda.

With the money he has stolen from the “Boys” his grandkids are set for life..I don’t think he even wants to play but his ego wants to get back at Jason, Dak and Zeke. Because he really does believe they had a hand in his demise…So sad.

_________

In Baltimore it was mentioned the offer was 3 year offer around $7M a year. With incentives to get him to $9M/yr

3 years 21 million and you don’t take it because of your stupid ego? Yeah this guy doesn’t even deserve to be in the league right now if he’s that stupid. I hate the Ravens, but the fact is that Dez Bryant so desperately wants to be in the NFC East yet it will never happen so he’s trying to save face by acting like they were cheap. What a tool.

Sure, he’s a bit of a head case….. most DIVAS are, but with the right coach & the right supporting cast around him those things can be put in check & his energy & talent can then be put into focusing on what’s required & needed to be done…..
I will admit, there are VERY FEW SITUATIONS out there that fit that criteria , but if one of them do give him the chance I hope he takes it……
The Pats are one of those teams but I just don’t believe they need him this year with all the depth they currently have at WR….. but teaming him with Gronk & MINITRON as well as Hogan could really put some preassure on a defense…..especially inside the 20!!!!
I’d be fine if BB rolled the dice but I just feel Dez would want too much $$$ to come to NE & with no NEED by the Patriots to bring himself board for the Money he’d want I just don’t see it happening……
Wish him luck though
Go Pats!!!!

A smart agent would advise his young clients on the dangers of being a diva and trouble maker and should use the examples of TO, Chad Johnson, and Dez Bryant. The Cowboys bent over backwards to cater to Dez’s fragile mental state and spent millions on 24/7 babysitters and handlers to fix transgressions and cover up issues that never made it to the press. Jerry has the Dallas PD under his thumb so they helped also. Now that he’s no longer useful to the team, the cost-benefit ratio turned against Dez. No other owner is willing to put up with that kind of a headcase.

Its May. He’ll be playing football for an NFL team in 2018. He likely has a short list of teams he wants to play on, and if they dont want him he can afford to sit back and wait for the next best thing over the coming months. Too much is being made of this….and its evident that a lot of posters here arent very nice human beings. What did Dez ever do to you guys?

Anyone that thinks Bryant would admit he made a mistake is not paying attention. All his problems have been caused by the media or something else. Anything but him. He’s a tool. Just no longer a useful tool.Only so much room in the tool box.

When are these gys who are disruptive to their teams going to get it ? GM’s and HC’s will go out of their way to not select or sign trouble makers on their rosters. It’s bad publicity and chances are they’re not good clubhouse examples for the younger guys.
Be appreciative you make life changing money playing a game. Shut your pie hole and be a good teammate.

—————————

What did Dez ever do to us guys? He is part of the problem and not the solution. He made the NFL uglier as opposed to more attractive and fun to witness. So no, he did not hurt me, but he was a negative contributor to my leisure time, which I don’t appreciate. Hey Dez, go find a real job.
